Theme: Re-THINK

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

About 4 billion people live without an address in the world. In these conditions, establishing meeting points and sending things is a real challenge. More generally, through his work in music, Chris experienced a constant frustration with the logistical problems caused by addresses; in cities and rural areas, in the developed and developing worlds. He sought to redefine something so ingrained and unchallenged as an address by devising an entirely new global system based on human communication principles. In 2013 Chris founded what3words with 3 others to provide the first human-friendly interface for the communication of precise location.
